GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – May 18, 2019

REVIEW


The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O), pulled back from the strong resistance at 74.8 levels. During the week price tested the long-term 200-day average at 71 levels and rebounded. For now we can conclude that the 200-day average acted as support. In the following weeks I will monitor the price action around the average. Failure to hold above 71 levels can result in a larger scale correction. The daily scale price chart can form a short-term H&S top. Both the neckline of the possible H&S top and the 200-day moving average are overlapping at the same level (71). In the short-term, as long as the price remains above 71 support, ACWI ETF is expected to trade between 71 and 74.8 levels.

GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – May 11, 2019

REVIEW


The benchmark for Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) experienced a sharp pullback from the strong resistance at 74.8 levels. Pullback found support around the 200-day moving average at 71 levels. What could be next for the Global equity benchmark? One option is a new trading range between 71 and 74.8, similar to what the benchmark experienced in the first half of 2018. A consolidation between the long-term average and the horizontal resistance at 74.8. The other option is the continuation of the correction with a breach below the long-term average. As long as the index manages to hold above the long-term average, I will continue to view the price action as positive. Short-term support is at 71 and the resistance is at 74.8 levels.

GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – May 4, 2019

REVIEW


The benchmark for the Global equity markets, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O), continues to remain around the strong resistance at 74.8 levels. The long-term 200-day moving average stands at 71 levels. There is no clear short-term chart pattern that would indicate a continuation of the existing uptrend. Price remains above the long-term average and such technical condition suggests the ETF is in an uptrend. If there is a pullback from the short-term resistance at 74.8 levels, the 200-day moving average is likely to act as support.

REVIEW


The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O), found resistance at the important horizontal resistance at 74.8 levels. Given the magnitude of the strong rebound and the steady rise without any pullback, one can't rule out the possibility of a breather/pause around the resistance at 74.8 levels. If we see a pullback, the 200-day moving average which is currently at 70.8 levels can act as support.

REVIEW


The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O), is now very close to a horizontal resistance at 74.8 levels. Given the magnitude of the strong rebound and the steady rise without any pullback, one can't rule out the possibility of a breather/pause around the resistance at 74.8 levels. If we see a pullback, the 200-day moving average which is currently at 70.6 levels can act as support.

GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – April 13, 2019

REVIEW


The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) is now close to a horizontal resistance at 74.8 levels. The ETF had a strong rebound from 63 levels. The V-bottom reversal was followed by the ETF clearing its long-term moving average in February. Since then the ACWI ETF has been trending above its long-term average. I consider price action above the long-term average as positive and classify it as an uptrend. Though it is important to note that, last few month's price action has been steep and such steep advances are not sustainable. During any setback the long-term moving average at 70.45 levels will act as support. Short-term resistance stands at 74.8 levels.

GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – March 23, 2019

REVIEW


The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) is trying to find direction above its long-term average. In March the index pulled back to the 200-day average and rebounded. Past few day's trading once again pulled the index towards the long-term average that can act as support around 70 levels. We can see choppy price action around the 200-day average. More important is how the index will consolidate around the average. If it forms an orderly, recognizable short-term consolidation (in the form of a flag, pennant, rectangle, symmetrical triangle) I will conclude that the index is preparing for a new leg up. Price action in 2016 is a good explanation of what I would like to see around the 200-day average to call for a change in trend. (A sharp drop, followed by a strong rebound that breaches the 200-day average, followed by choppy price action in search of a new trend and eventually forming a recognizable chart pattern)

GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – March 16, 2019

REVIEW


The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) found support above its 200-day (40 week) average. Sharp V-reversal from the low of January 2019 didn't encounter a pullback/correction. I analyze the price action that manages to consolidate and find support above its long-term average as positive and review the ACWI ETF with a bullish bias. During any pullback or further sideways consolidation, the 200-day moving average at 69.9 levels will act as support.

GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – March 9, 2019

REVIEW


The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) found resistance at 71.3 levels. Strong rebound that started in the beginning of January is now being interrupted with a correction. This week's price action tested the 200-day moving average.  We are likely to see more choppy price action around the 200-day average, possibly in an attempt to form a reversal chart pattern. It is still early to call for the developing chart pattern a head and shoulders reversal. ACWI ETF is now in a trading range between 66.3 and 71.3 levels.
